I did my first brand deal a few weeks ago. You Tube truly does open up other doors that reach far beyond just creating video on this platform.

[@thestandoutpodcast]

Congrats on this achievement. What advice or experiences do you have to share?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Congratulations! 🎉🥳

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

That's truly amazing to hear! Wow!!

[@TramesseNikole]

I can’t wait to get my platform to this level ! I would like to focus on posting more consistent so that I have something to show !

[@bigdreamerlifestyle]

Could you please tell me what you did You mentioned about their brand/company in your video Am I correct??

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

It’d be great to get an actual breakdown of different types of brand deals and how to negotiate them with the actual value of your videos and channel as a whole

[@watchingbrain]

since the following comment got a heart it may include some first thoughts for you. Remember that the subject of brand monetization is rather complex and that there are whole agencies specializing in this area for one or the other reason (country, county, target audiences, upload frequency, ad length and complexity and all the other goodies regarding ads) . It is nearly impossible to make an individual halfway decent guess and there are a whole bunch of other reasons why nearly nobody is talking about what they get. You may find yourself halfway lucky and get a decent offer nontheless/ despite my words of caution. Take it and praise the lord! But here you go, hope it helps: __________ So how much can you charge in the beginning? 30-40 per 1k views may be a good rule of thumb depending on your niche. Do not "prostitute" yourself just b/c someone is finally willing to give you money and you are soooooo happy. Do not sell yourself too short. You may "cooperate" moneywise IF a more long termy deal is on the table. Otherwise say it with me: Do not... __________ Sidenote: Now, if you need to ask what 30-40/1k in THIS context means you should not bother thinking about brand deals and educate yourself first on other subjects ;)

[@theweebdev]

I just landed my first brand deal today and this video was recommended to me. As a small creator, it made my day!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Nice! Congratulations! 🥳🎉

[@Aalok_yt28]

How brother, please guide me 🙏

[@theweebdev]

@@Aalok_yt28 I found a gap in my niche. No one makes good tutorial so I made tutorials and one company saw my videos and emailed me to try their product and make a review/tutorial about it. After that, we made negotiations until we've reached an agreement

[@TomPolifka]

The over 40 creators are sorely needed, you guys make a great case for all 40+ people to start sharing their experience. You guys are wise beyond your years and always bring incredible value, great work.

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Spot on!

[@RoySFord]

I am so glad they said that about people in their 40s and 50s. I am 48 and I am ALWAYS looking for KZbin Content Creators like me who are consistent and outgoing!

[@CandidClara]

Always nice to hear. As a creator in their 40s I laugh at posts from people saying “I’m 35 is it too late to start a KZbin channel” 😆🤷‍♀️

[@tiylerbliss2094]

Where can I find these brands that want to work with smaller creators? Is there like a certain website that will list these brands or anything?

[@adamfroman7983]

The videos that are needed out there about this are : how to narrow down on the kinds businesses that pay the highest in brand deals in each niche generally ..Then people can target who specific to contact to get the best pay for the brand deals as they could ultimately lead to the most money and possibly the most authority, then make videos that really help those sponsors specifically, help the people you are making a video for, and keywords to make KZbin find it easy..

[@LatinosOver40]

I'm a retired OG and I just posted a video puting my face in front of a camera for the first time. It's scary, I sucked at talking to the camera... lighting and audio sucked because I'm building my KZbin Studio and all of my equipment is in boxes.... but as Think Media says "You gota just press record" ... LOL

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yes!! Way to take action! ✅

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Exactly! Things will organically fall into place for you.

[@LatinosOver40]

@@HarrisonParker-qu3ix Thanks amigo... going to dig up some lights and my old microphone to improve my next video !!!

[@leadgenjay]

Great insights on brand deals for small channels, guys! For those watching, remember to tailor your pitch to align with the brand's mission and current campaigns. It shows you've done your homework and can increase your chances of securing a deal. Plus, always negotiate deliverables to ensure both parties are clear on expectations.

[@WillBrownCars]

This is very helpful! As a small channel looking to grow and eventually make this full time, I think brand deals will become essential!

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Focus and perseverance...all you need!!

[@thestandoutpodcast]

Exciting topic! As a small channel looking to navigate the world of brand deals, I'm eager to learn the essentials.

[@Jasperforex]

Just what i needed to hear - thanks fellas.

[@marckuhnmak]

Brand deals truly are so crucial! Thanks for sharing.

[@CrackAddictz]

This is what we want to see! Great video👍

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Agreed!

Just got my first PR package

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Okayyyyy!!! Just the beginning!

[@MeditationMeg]

This really pumps me up, thank you for sharing this!🌟

[@Practical_Dementia_Care]

Always encouraging to hear your take and thought processes. Stay true.

[@mohabib7]

I learned a lot just by posting a few videos and researching to make my next video better. you don't have to worry about anything at first if you don't know much. just start uploading whatever is in your mind. eventually, your speaking, editing, good titles, thumbnails and research for new videos will improve with each video. Don't be afraid of mistakes in fact make mistakes.

[@Mindfuljourneywithme111]

Yea and know one is watching your first few videos anyway so it’s a good time to just use them as practice!

[@AngieBrown66]

As an over 40 new content creator this video was a pleasure to see and to hear. I have learnt so much from you guys, so thank you....loads and loads!

[@CanisoGaming]

Dry creek ranger school is the "cow boy dad" for so mamy young men 😂. Seen one of his videos & i can tell why 👌

[@ShivsStudio]

Great video, thank you guys! Could you please cover how much to charge for your videos when negotiating with a brand, using the 'no. of views' method vs. the 'flat rate fee' method?

[@TheTechSurfPodcast]

Thanks for sharing!

[@marcgabasTHINK]

We appreciate the support!

[@Alchemy4US]

Thank you, this has been very helpful. I'm ready to make the move to join this amazing KZbin family, but not sure how to start. Maybe I will do just that, start talking about my reasons for wanting to leave the 9 to 5 nightmare and more than 2 hours commute per day and get a life!

[@AaronDoster]

Love the content, I can’t wait to make my first brand deal and become a full time KZbinr it’s my dream job

[@OlyaMancov]

Needed to hear that 🙏

[@ramonasjournal]

Thanks for info😊

[@GadaDigitalmedia3024]

Very good advice

[@jppagel6563]

I agree 100, whether you a massive channel or just starting out,brand deals are out there. I am a brand partner with a fishing company, they contacted me when my channel only had 300 subs, but because of my niche I think thwy saw a gap in the market and hopefully we can be partners for years to come.

[@Theinfiniteconnects]

Great content ❤❤❤❤

[@Dirsanat]

i started two weeks ago

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

And it begins...

[@RusscanFLY]

Could you guys do some research and make a video about creator land? It seems to have popped up, and I really don’t know what it’s all about. Is it worth it? I’ll be curious to hear what you folks have to say about it. Thanks so much!

[@CountryMotivation]

I get lots of brand deals but I cannot open their license agreement. So none of them really was successful. Any assistance please? Will appreciate that.

[@JasonLorette]

Someday it will happen...a brand will want to work with me, that 50 something dude that likes to go on adventures with his camera and photograph cool things. Fingers crossed. 📷😎

[@marcgabasTHINK]

Yes! Consistency is key 🔥

[@savvydirtfarmer]

One piece of information that is hard to find for creators is "how much should I ask for" from a brand? Real numbers. I've done a few deals and I struggle with it. Am I leaving money on the table? Am I asking too much? How can I get them to make an offer first?

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Good Morning 😃

[@AREEONTHEDON]

There is another issue with KZbin adsense i made the threshold February and they want to pay me the next month when I’ve already made the threshold what is this about?

[@thehometownhomestead]

YT pays out toward the end of the month following the payment period. January money landed this week for me.

[@watchingbrain]

So how much can you charge in the beginning? 30-40 per 1k views may be a good rule of thumb depending on your niche. Do not "prostitute" yourself just b/c someone is finally willing to give you money and you are soooooo happy. Do not sell yourself too short. You may "cooperate" moneywise IF a more long termy deal is on the table. Otherwise say it with me: Do not...

[@JamesTudsbury]

Is there a long-form video or masterclass on how to do brand deals, for those who have never done one?

[@HomelessGurl]

How does one go about this? Reach out to them or have them reach out to you? I would like to secure my 1st one, but perhaps my channel size is still small. I’ve been approach by others, but have decline due to it not feeling it would be the right fit.

[@edgardbmedia]

Great Video. Anyway of making a Video on how to reach out to Brands, where to reach out. Ive collaborated with brands a ton but for reviews. Ive contacted them and some me but ive never contacted a brand looking for a brand deal. Would love to see a Video on that. Bleasings

[@gabrielsauceda_]

Dry Creek! 🙌🏽

[@nxprnico]

What lens are you using for this video?

[@FieldGuidetoDIY]

Do my brand deals HAVE TO BE with my niche? Should my brand deals on my DIY channel be limited to tools and repair products?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

They don’t have to, but for smaller channels that is usually the type of brands that and more likely to connect with you.

[@AIKnowledge2Go]

thanks for this informative Video. Whether you're celebrating a new collaboration or seeking brand partnership advice, the message is clear: Keep creating, exploring, and sharing your journey. 🌟🚀

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Absolutely!

[@kimball_stone]

A really important brand deal topic right now is the fact that people who did them with Schedule 35, the mushroom company, are having their channels terminated without warning.

[@SandraSallin]

Great, how do I get a brand deal with a company I admire?

[@ASRocky10]

❤❤❤

[@nymphaoda]

please give me tips on how to check if the brand is legit or not, my channel was hacked before because of brand collaboration. I checked and it seems legit, unfortunately my account was hacked. Is there a safe platform where their content can be downloaded safely?

[@claudiacastly]

How do u get brands deals ?

[@EUCvibes]

I must start a faceless channel !

[@HarrisonParker-qu3ix]

Great idea!

[@mrhoneystinger3676]

So, can you quantify small YT channels

[@thevaluespace]

It would have been better if they actually explained how to get the brand deals, negotiation process, how to avoid being under cut etc. I feel as though they glossed over the topic and never went into the specifics

[@toksthoughts]

but we need to be careful on Brand, so much scams

[@lilcyrusj]

Tbh this did not help lol

[@the_mig]

there aren't many brands in my field that would do deals ..

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]

Why do you consider a small channel?

[@historyandhearsay]

Usually anything under 100k Most brand deals start for “micro-influencers” at 20k subs but small brand deals can happen for even smaller channels… I got small deals ($100-200 for a mention) with a channel that was at 5k subs. Your number of views is the most important thing though. With that 5k sub channel at the time I was pulling in 1k-2k views per video on average

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]
